THE SOUTH AFRICAN PRINCESS SHANGINGI AND DAUGHTER OF
EASTERN-AFRICAN KING SABUTELA MEETS THE FAGGOT
On the working face of the most difficult job in the world,
digging for precious stones when we make babies in the family set-up, Princess
Shangingi on her own as the female miner or mistress of midwifery worth her
weight in gold. She is in fact the only agent of consequence to save South
Africa from becoming a completely stupid nation by Year 2053. And this post is about the story behind this
great woman. Suffice it to say: “Hail, Your Majesty King Sabutela of
Eastern-Africa for siring this blue-blooded heifer for us South Africans lost for ideas on how
to understand the sanctity of familyhood, let alone to bear and rear children!
Let us visit visit some pertinent lexicography English,
Swazi and Swahili for a better grasp of the Princess: she is intellectual
through and through therefore love-handles do not impress her at all.
Swazi/Siswati Language: Lusaba , NOUN ( piece of faggot or
small piece of wood for starting a fire). Plural: Tinsaba
VERB: Sabutela 1. The act of collecting Tinsaba for the
purpose of starting a cooking fire or source of heater.
VERB: Sabutela 2. The bride’s extra-marital, sexual practice (as sanctioned
by the mother-in-law or a representative) aimed at impregnating her where the
husband is suspected of barrenness. [word is directed taken from Sabutela 1
above]
Swahili Language (more formally ‘Kiswahili’): Shangingi (slang) a woman who busies herself with
gossip and assists married women who are looking for extra-marital sex
encounters.
p. 692 Column One
Faggot 1 n.: 1. a bundle of sticks,
twigs, or branches bound together and used as fuel, fascine, a torch etc. 2. A
bundle, bunch. 3. A bundle of pieces of iron or steel to be welded, hammered,
or rolled together at high temperature….
Faggot 2: n.
slang (disparaging and offensive). a
male homosexual. [1910-15 Amer.; cf. faggot a contemptuous term for a woman
(from ca. 1590), perh. The same word as Faggot 1 above]….
Note, the Siswati Sabutela 2 and the English Faggot 2 are
pure, undiluted and non-borrowed words in their respective languages. However the bond in meaning is the same in
that the faggot is looked upon to be an enticer of sorts for sexual
experimentation, a kind of garnish aimed either at heightening sexual pleasure
for those who rightfully and legally ought to be enjoying such. Of course sexual activity has on the natural
course of things the result of begetting offspring. And please do not be given
to the yarn that all homosexual men do not engage in hetero-sexual activity;
and for that reason it is not inconceivable that a married man could, rather
than going to the female definition of faggot, allow his wife to shake hands
and tools with the male definition in which latter case, the man, like a crazed
bull, could join the party for a double deal for his only one. And so please do not blame the woman for
having a bad name; do not blame the male homosexual too; maybe you can blame
the so-called male heterosexual where, and if, such exists in fact.
This is modern life, that you have just read above. We know for a fact of the Siswati definition
of Sabutela that the modern way of supporting the family unit in sexual matters
is as ancient as the origins of manking.
Definitely there was no cultural cross-polination between the
Ngwane/Swazi/Karanga/Tonga people of Souther Africa in the lexicographical Year
1590. So, the only explanation as to why
the British, just like the Swazi, would associated twigs for starting a
cauldron with acts of extra-marital or even ‘abnormal/homosexual’ sex IS THAT
THE BRITISH, WHO ARE PART OF CAUCASIANS, LEFT AFRICA IN THOSE TENS OF THOUSANDS
YEARS AGO ALREADY POSSESSING THIS muti for for strengthening a
couple’s sex life.
There was one shortcoming, though with the British
model. It seems to have its focus on
sexual pleasure whereas the Swazi version focussed on the strengthening and
buttressing of family status which was considered non-existent where
procreation was non-existent.
Procreation for the Swazi People did not mean (others argue this is the
case even today) children’s paternity to the head of the family (the man),
desirable though that was/is. This
was/is the case because the family unit belonged not to the man, but to His
Majesty the King. This seems to be the
same family understanding even from the Swazi’s sister people the Zulus of
South Africa. And from this tradition
then one understands why an elderly woman was at liberty to advise her daughter
in law to “Sabutela” or get “faggoty” in order to conceive and hide her
husband’s shame in failure to to impregnate her. What then will happen when the baby is born
in that scenario (where babies are taught as from day one they are born who
their paternal ancestors are and such praisenames are too often use to console
and silence the baby if not send her on a lullaby when crying) EVERYTIME SHE
UNCONTROLLABLY CRIES IN THE PRESENCE OF OF HER PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER, THE
ELDERLY LADY WILL BE THE FIRST PERMIT HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW TO GET OUT OF THE
HOUSE AND CONSOLE THE BABY IN PRIVACY (where she will be at greater liberty to
address the baby by the ancestors of its biological father).
You may ask me now how does the head of the family feel
about a kid who may not be of his own seed.
At least half the time he does not know about this; nor does he care to
know seeing that in strict African tradition, paternity is viewed not by
consanguinity with the child, but by the act of rearing the child FOR THE
KINGDOM OF COURSE.
In that respect, African men (particularly in Southern
Africa) to this day frown upon paternity tests and any man who indulges in such
is viewed with disdain, and there is a good reason for it. And part of that reason is when the child
grown to discover the fact of his paternity (there are shangingi aunts who are good at informing the child “Manyanya Phiri
you are not a Phiri rather you are a Zulu by surname”), he or she gets even
more attached to the Phiri father who brought them up (it is not every day that
a man in our modern world exerts himself for what he may know is not his own
seed and the appreciative child gets even a stronger conviction that this man
Phiri and my mother’s husband is true father material in comparison to the
‘sperm donor Zulu’). In South Africa,
there are many male children who in adulthood till death keep their
“stepfathers’” surnames despite being told their true biological surnames, just as there are
sufficient males from single female parentage who keep their mother’s surname
to their graves despite knowing the surname of the father who played truant
over fatherhood as the mother struggled alone to bring him up.
I guess the words here are Integrity, Faithfulness,
Appreciation and Spirituality which are all in tune with our universe, if not
the creation of good fortune, luck and success.
If you do not buy that, I challenge you to watch the careers of men who,
at age 30 or even 50 will surprise family and friends by announcing: I HAVE
BEEN BEING FOOLED FOR THE ENTIRETY OF MY LIFE TILL TODAY BUT I GOODMAN MANYANYA
PHIRI AM IN FACT GOODMAN MANYANYA ZULU BECAUSE ZULU IS THE MAN, MY AUNTIE HAS
JUST TOLD ME, WHO IMPREGNATED MY MOTHER FOR ME TO BE BORN AND TO HELL WITH
PHIRI WHO BROUGHT ME UP AND TAUGHT ME BOTH TYPING AND THE LOVE FOR THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE USAGE OF WHICH HAS MADE ME A WORLD-CLASS BLOGGER.
I would not do or say that even if a hundred aunts chorused
my biological paternity beause my understanding of sperm banks is that they
keep all details about the sperm donors bar the clan name. So why should I bother myself changing my
surname to that of the bank from which my parents bought the sperm? Some of
such midstream name-changers do it even when the sperm donor and/or the mother
is long dead, thus having done no paternity test with him, which raises the
question: “how sure are you that your thousand aunts speak the truth?”. Furthermore, What if your father Phiri
encouraged your mother to sleep with a Mr Zulu who was your father Phiri’s
“second wife” the Faggot or male homosexual referred to above by the
authoritative Random House Webster’s Unabridged [English] Dictionary Second
Edition Copyright 2001 etc.? What if you
are a product of the Swazi tradition of kusabutela, and your shangingi maternal
aunt knew nothing about this traditional ruse that brought you about for the
Phiri clan,and now you change your surname to that of an otherwise
good-for-nothing Mr Zulu sex thief who in his naivete thought he was a smart
seducer when he in fact fell for a ruse to donate sperm for another family?
Some men who read this, particularly due to religious
influence or some, may argue “Blood is thicker than water and so it is not only
best to have the child go for his biological name and there will be more
blessing accruing for him if he follows his bloodline”. But this is sawdust reasoning on many fronts,
primary of which is the fact that no human being is pure on earth.
There is no pure white.
There is no pure black.
There is no pure Asian.
There is no pure Arab.
There is no pure native American.
There is no pure Bantu.
There is no pure San (Bushman).
There is no pure Phiri.
There is no pure Smith.
There is not pure Van der Merwe.
There is no pure Dlamini.
There is no pure Banda.
There is no pure Mokoena.
WE ALL OF US HAVE SINCE THE DAWN OF SPECIES HOMO SAPIENS
BEEN MARRYING AND INTERMARRYING AND SOME OF US MAY HAVE BROKEN THE PATERNAL
BLOOD LINK A HUNDRED, A THOUSAND, TENS OF THOUSANDS YEARS AGO; AND SO WHAT IS
THE BIG DEAL ABOUT YOUR SURNAME?
“The greater-blessing advantage in going biological with
your surname” is even more bunkum because if blessings were taken away from you
because of being brought up by a father who never donated the sperm that made
you spelled ill fortune YOU SURE WOULD HAVE DIED WHILE STILL A BABY! On the contrary, if you were in that stage of
neonate vulnerability given to your otherwise good-for-nothing sperm donor, you
definitely would have died young and lived long underground. SO WHO IS YOUR REAL FATHER, MAN? Please
choose wisely!
Personally I would stomach being calle an S.O.B.
But I would be the first man in history for having murdered
an aunt who suggested ‘Manyanya, you son of a faggot’!
THE WESTERN IMAGE VIS-À-VIS THE AFRICAN ONE IN MATTERS
FAGGOTY AND HOMOSEXUAL
There exists in modern political discourse the
well-formulated question (thus far never sufficiently replied to) if those who
claim ‘in toto faggotry and homosexuality were never practised or even allowed
in ancient traditional African set-ups’ ARE NOT MERE AFRO-JINGOISTS.
There is no question,though, that Africa frowns on issues of
faggotry (be the faggot male or female as per dictionary definitions).
What begs the question though is whether the Afro-dim view
on these sexual practices is sourced from the modern context of the faggot (a
mere sensual partner with the focus being pleasure but no treasure in the shape
of more children as ‘I the family man, after an encounter with the faggot, or
causing my wife to have such an encourtner, return to my better-half and
family).
